      abstract = {Explores the development of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s  understanding of the relationship between religion,  morality, law, and politics. Provides an in-depth analysis  of King's views on the roles that religion and morality  ought to play, not only in public debate concerning  political choices and law, but also in efforts to create  political and legal structures that are just and to  perpetuate participatory democracy. The Legacy of Martin  Luther King, Jr. focuses considerable attention on King's  refusal to separate religious faith and moral  considerations from politics, legal matters, and social  reformism. In so doing, it demonstrates King's remarkable  ability to transcend church-state boundaries and to  formulate an alliance that permeated every facet of  American life. This volume reveals how King moved beyond  southern particularism to create a more democratic America  and a more inclusive world. Among the topics covered are  King's relationship to various American political  traditions and figures, King's theories of civil  disobedience and his understanding of the Constitution, and  the influence of moral law and personal idealism on King's  teachings.},
